investors get minerals out of the ground

the RSPT robs investors of future dividends

mining companies become less attractive because they are high risk if things go wrong, the whole thing often goes up in smoke

when ABC learning folded the assets were still there to be sold off

sure the minerals are still in the ground, but often huge $$ are needed to get it up and going again

risk / reward, its a simple equation, what more needs to be said?

the tax is just plain crazy and it does my head in!
